Actually, it is true. Natively, the Kobo's don't store series information. The series information isn't in the standard ePub metadata. The Kobo's only read the standard metadata.
Calibre stores its own metadata in the ePub, and I think, that in the case you showed, is changing the standard Author's Name metadata field to contain the Author's Name and the Series/Number.
As an alternative, it is probably also possible to have Calibre put the series information into the standard Book Title metadata field. This would cause the books of a series to sort together, if sorting by titles. I do this manually with my ebooks, and find it works well (for me, at least).
Caveat: I don't use Calibre. I did for a few weeks after I got my Touch, but didn't like how it worked or how it mangled the formatting of the ePubs.
